I began life in Southwest Louisiana on a rice, soybean and cattle farm. My parents taught me to work hard, to be honest and to always strive to do my best no matter the situation. I try to carry those values into my work ethic for my career as a Residential Mortgage Lender as well as my volunteering for the organizations that I provide my time to.
Upon graduating from Auburn University I promptly moved to Washington DC to enjoy an illustrious career as front office staff aka 'gate keeper' for Congressman Jimmy Hayes and chief mail sorter, tour guide and flag picker upper for Senator John Breaux. It was a wonderful three years of my life and I will never forget those amazing years on the Hill!
After DC, I moved to Atlanta GA to work for the Olympics and was fortunate enough to work with the CEO William Porter Payne, again I performed an invaluable job as I sat in a closet (large closet) and signed 18,000 holiday cards with a signing machine for three months.
I loved my political life in DC and Atlanta but it wasn't until I moved to Chicago and met my own personal lender, did I find my niche. Since 2002, I've loved helping others through lending; I have a great sense of fulfillment when I close a loan and my clients are happy with the process. I sincerely enjoy what I do and would not change it for the world.
